WCW Thunder

6.9.0

BLAH

I GET LETTERS:
Kyle Scofield has a late on-site from last week: Hey
first off I just want to say I love your recaps and you do a great job.
After attending thunder I was looking forward to your report and must say
you did a great job. I just have a few things to add. First off the
Thunder tailgate party footage was not taped in Tucson or was there even
such a party. Another stupid mistake by the production team. At least show
the fans some respect. I also wanted to add that all but a few boos for
Nash and CO. that all the crowd noise was legit. It was about the hottest
crowd I have seen at any event at the Convention Center and it wasn't even
close to sold out. WWF always sells out but the crowd generally isn't as
pumped, you get too many little kids who just go because it's the cool
thing to do. Well thats about all I have to add. Keep up the good
work.

The following program is a TBS Superstation Original Series!

TV-PG-DLV - WCW logo - two tickets to paradise

Earlier Today, Smooth and the close captioned logo welcomed the Natural
Born Thrillers to the WCW Power Plant. Sanders says it's time for a little
reunion with Paul Orndorff...oof.

Opening Credits - Saturn

Pyro and the iWatch logo welcome you to College Station, TX and the Texas
A&M Campus - take a drink every time someone says "Aggies!" It's 6.9.2K
(taped 5.9) and it is...THUNDER!

KWEE WEE (with Paisley) v. LT. LOCO in
a #1 Contender's Match - Stay tuned
for SHOCKING footage of Mr. #1derful! ELIX SKIPPER & MAJ. GUNNS
come out
about a minute in, further ensuring I pay very little attention to this
match, and take fourth and fifth headset. Tenay: "Would you look at those
maple leafs!" Of course, Gunns' headset doesn't initally work - that's a
*compliment*, not a criticism. WHOOOSH FALL BRAWL ONLY 11 DAYS AWAY
WHOOOOOOSH. Tenay asks Gunns about Paisley, and the entire time she
answers, Stevie Ray keeps interrupting her by calling moves. ("Big elbow!
Clothesline!") Gunns openly roots for Loco - I guess. Gunns: "I can't
believe I'm sitting here..." Stevie Ray: "That back suplex was intense,
Tony." Skipper: "That's right Major Gunns, you need to watch this 'cause
this is part of your training, of how we do it in Canada, so you need to
pay attention to what's going on out there." Huh? "'Cause that's your
former teammate - now you're a part of the Canadian team." "That will
never be my former teammate - I am always gonna be-" Stevie Ray: "Oh!
Brainbuster!" "--USDA Choice, honey." "Brainbuster by Lt. Loco!" "I am
100% American made." "We can change all that. That's right - we will
change all of that - you will be 100% Canadian." "Whatever." That's
pretty much how I feel as well. Finish sees Logo go to the top rope, stay
there for upwards of five seconds so Paisley can jump up and crotch him,
and Kwee Wee DDT's him from the top rope to the apron - yikes - for
the fall. (6:41) Skipper: "Americans
always hesitate!" Gunns: "See,
that's what I'm talking about. That is completely ridiculous." Stevie
Ray: "Did you say something, Prime Time?" Post-match, Gunns gets in the
ring and pulls down Paisley by the hair. Catfight! Catfight! "That's
right, beat those Americans up!" Stevie Ray: "Prime Time, ah, you better
get a handle on your yak, baby!" TYGRYSS runs out and grabs Gunns and now
a doubleteam is on. Skipper in to pull her out - we are denied a Too Hot
for Television shot of Gunns' ass by an inserted crowd shot. The
MISFITS
IN ACTION (sans Stash) run out to chase everybody
away.

WCW PROS AND
CONS:Pro: Stevie Ray is given a high-profile commentary
assignment, assuaging racism charges on the part of
WCW. Con: Ray takes it
to a different level by being even more sexist than Mike Tenay - and
Tenay's just playing a character!

Earlier Today, Bret Hart arrived! He wears a fake - I mean, CFL - football
jersey. After removing his luggage, he starts WALKING!

Elsewhere, Goldberg is WALKING! What a funny case!

Time for the WCW Thunder Tailgate Party! Tony tries to give us the
impression that this was taped here in College Station, but don't buy it!
Finish Line is shoes.

Your hosts are TONY SCHIAVONE, MIKE
TENAY, STEVIE RAY and THE iWATCH LOGO.
Check out just behind them - they forget to turn off the lights on the
empty part of the arena until *after* we start watching this shot

Let Us Take You Back to Starrcade and see three angles of the kick that put
Bret Hart out for ...hmm, it's been eight months, hasn't it? With Hart and
Goldberg in the same building, what could possibly happen?

Later tonight, Tenay will go all-out heel with David Flair and Stacy
Keebler! Stick around! Also, bonus footage of War Games 2000. And if
you're wondering how it went with the Thrillers at the Power Plant, wonder
no more...

Earlier today, the WCW Cameras followed the Natural Born Thrillers as they
tried to go home again. They find Mike Graham and a Power Plant guy in the
ring. Graham decides the best course of action is to give Sanders a punch,
double leg, and figure four. Yeah, that's how you win a fight with six
guys. Needless to say, the trainee gets to practice taking a bump through
the ropes to the floor, while Graham takes knees, stomps, and a
Seantonbomb. Tony ID's the trainee as David Farquair (I'm sure I spelled
it wrong). Moving on, they spy another trainee on mop duty (who apparently
wasn't watching what was going on in the ring in front of him). "We clean
floors a little different around here." And he goes down with one punch.
Tony tells us that's Troy Andress or some other spelling. Now at
Orndorff's office...this segment has only gone on three or four minutes,
but it feels like a hundred. Orndorff tries the "what has gotten into
y'all? Two or three minutes on TV and you think you're stars," speech,
tries to rush them - hmm, a fiftysomething year old man on six guys...I
LIKE THOSE ODDS - and after a six-way stompdown, Security and a few
trainees wielding sticks break it up JUST before they get to do a spot with
Orndorff and the mop. The Farkair guy twirls that stick JUST like Big Boss
Man! Man, if his knee ever heals, we'll see BIG things from that guy!

This portion of Thunder is brought to you by Western Union Money
Transfer - is it too late to get their money back?

This Monday, you're still cordially invited to the wedding. They're gonna
keep calling her Ms. Hancock on the invitation no matter HOW many times
Tony calls her Stacy.

Mike Tenay sits down with DAVID FLAIR &
STACY KEEBLER (and the iWatch
logo). Everything's ready for Monday's
wedding. Both her parents will be
there. Flair says both his parents "should be there - we live in
Charlotte, you know." Tenay cuts to the chase and asks if Ric Flair will
be there. "I don't know, I haven't talked to him." Stacy: "Mike, let me
just tell you that with or without Ric Flair, me and David are still
getting married." Mike switches to "heel" mode and asks Stacy "what are
you, some kind of a golddigger?" "Mike, I think you should apologise to me
for that comment - because me and David are very much in love." "Hmm. In
love? Is this a marriage because you're in love - or is this because of
the baby?" "Of course he's in love! We've been together for some time
now, and--" "Stacy, Stacy, David's a big boy - let him speak for himself."
"Well, I love Stacy and I love the baby." Two quick things we can glean
from this segment: one, Stacy can't act; two, Mike can't act - but next to
Stacy, he's MARLON FREAKIN' BRANDO. "We know you've had a lot of problems
with your own father, Ric Flair. Can you be a better father to your child
than he was to you?" "Don't you think that question's a little personal,
Mike?" "No, I don't think it's personal at all. I think everybody wants
to know the answer to the question that you've avoided this entire
interview: will your father be in Charlotte for the wedding?" "I don't
know." Dramatic cut to Tenay: "And David, if he does show up, you gonna be
able to get along with him?" Dramatic cut to Flair: "Mike, if he shows up,
he's my father. If he wants to be part of the weeding, he can. If not, oh
well." "Let me tell you what, this interview is over! Because no one is
gonna ruin my special night Monday - not you, not Ric Flair, not anybody.
C'mon David, let's go." "Hmm. Well there you have it folks - another
happy couple on their way to marital bliss. I give 'em six months IF
they're lucky."

Goldberg is WALKING! And looking for Bret Hart!

Let Us Take You Back to Monday where the Harris Bros (and the iWatch logo)
entered a local tavern and beat up Kronic. Wasn't this footage so hot that
they weren't gonna show it Monday until the Harrisses came out and
threatened physical harm? Does their reach extend over to Thunder as well?
Oh, well.

3 COUNT is out
with baseball bats. "Yo, listen up - 'cause we ain't here
to sing and dance tonight! Ask Tank Abbott what it's like to get beaten
down by the 3 Count! 'Cause he can't find his last three teeth - and as
far as last night on Nitro, well Kronic, we're up for a little battin'
practice, so why don't you two punks come down to the ring like a man and
we'll show you what time it is!" Adams will handle the response. "Hey, 3
Count! So you wanna piece of Kronic, huh? Well, not only do we accept
your challenge - because it *is* all about Kronic - I tell you what we're
gonna do. I'm glad you boys brought out those baseball bats, 'cause I want
you to keep 'em, 'cause tonight we're gonna make up a nice little set of 3
Count popsicle sticks."

3 COUNT
v. KRONYKK
- why does that guy in the crowd have a "I'M AT A WCW
EVENT" sign? Isn't that kind of obvious? Is he worried we might confuse
him with being at some OTHER kind of event tonight? Karagias tries the
body scissors into the bulldog, but Clark chokeslams him down. Tenay:
"What a unique chokeslam that was by Bryan Clark!" Stevie Ray: "I ain't
never seen that move before, Mike! What is it called?" WHOOSH 11 Well,
anyway, the HARRIS
BROTHERS come out - Kronic quickly go outside to
brawl with them on the outside. You can almost see the wheels spinning in
referee "Blind" Jamie Tucker's head: "Hmm....boss said I can't call DQ's
anymore. Still, they're outside the ring fighting with guys not in this
match...hey, wait! 1! 2! 3! 4!" and so on. They're almost backstage by
the time he gets to 10, and 3 Count win. (COR 2:15) Post-match,
JOBBED
TO DAVID ARQUETTE comes out and lays each man out
with one punch - just in
case we were going to confuse them with somebody getting a push in WCW.

Here's a look at Bret Hart's dressing room, where six security tomato cans
stand guard outside. Call me nuts, but if *I* were Goldberg and looking
for Hart, the first place *I'd* probably check is behind the big door with
the BRET HART sign. I wonder if Goldberg is watching this show on a
monitor? Don't be silly; of COURSE he's not

Time for some thinly disguised commercials - I mean, clips from the
Thunder Tailgate Party, thanks to Valvoline Max Life

GENE O. works
tonight! And he stands with Crowbar...and the iWatch logo.
"Daffney...I'm happy for you. Shane Douglas - Troy Martin - this is Devon
talkin' to ya - the real man. Not the entertainer, but the athlete. And
what you did to me last week goes far beyond the realms of sports
entertainment. You tried to take food off of my plate, you tried to end my
career, and you even tried to end my life. In case you haven't noticed,
Shane, I'm the one that can take anything that the guys dish out here at
WCW, and unfortunately for you, you ain't gonna make it to that scaffold
match. The only place you're goin' after tonight is a hospital bed."

Time now for the Lava Lamp Lounge, with your host AWESOME MULLET. Sofa,
lava lamp, strobe light, candle, lamp covered by beads, leisure suit -
Awesome ain't no Roddy Piper, but I bet Piper looked JUST like that in the
seventies. His first guest is "Paula Pamshock" - aka PAMELA PAULSHOCK -
who brings out a magic lamp (suitable for containing incense, no doubt) as
a gift. The background music is that Barry White ripoff. Stevie Ray:
"Tony?" Tony: "Don't say it." Awesome fails to ask "who'd you sleep with
to get this job?" and instead hits on Paulshock. Hey, Pam likes guys with
a sense of humour - I'M a guy with a sense of humour! I'm watching THIS
show, aren't I? We are spared further exposure as JEDOUBLEF
JADOUBLEREDOUBLET comes out. Ray called women
"yaks" again! Jarrett:
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jarrett avoids the obvious Eddie Money
comparison and proclaims Awesome a cross between John Travolta and Austin
Powers - for an encore, he refers to Paulshock as a blonde slapnut.
Instead of working on his cheesy one-liners, he'd best worry about their
Bunkhouse Brawl coming up at Fall Brawl - then they start fighting.
Highlight is Jarrett reversing an Irish whip into the sofa. No, SERIOUSLY.
That whip reversal just shows up in the *oddest* places... Paulshock tries
to keep Jarrett from swinging the gee-tar at Awesome, so he turns to her
instead. This brings out GENE
O. to play white knight for *her*...Awesome
makes his way back into the picture so Jarrett Kabongs him instead as
Paulshock ends up in Okerlund's arms - ummm, better move that arm a little
higher, Gene.

The Castrol Motor Oily Replay is - and you really can't read this enough
times to understand how truly absurd it is - Jarrett *reversing the whip
into the sofa* and then breaking the guitar over Awesome's head.

THE FRANCHISE (with Torrie Samuda, the
TV-PG-DLV ratings box, the iWatch
logo and Let Us Take You Back to Last Monday) - OR IS IT TROY MARTIN v.
CROWBAR - OR IS IT DEVON? - Franchise gets some
cheap Aggie heat, talks
about Billy Kidman (who?), calls himself a tidal wave, and reminds us that
last week, when he took on Goldberg, only one man came out of it with blood
streaming down his face and "his initials are GOLDBERG!" Hey, is it just
me, or do Torrie's nipples not line up? (And if you think I shouldn't be
asking stuff like that, well, she shouldn't be wearing stuff that makes 'em
point out like that, then.) Let's bring out Crowbar so he can get his ass
Franchised - "that's a fact! That's a fact! That's a fact - jackass!"
Man, that catchphrase is OVER. Crowbar tosses aside his pipe and rushes
the ring. Oh, did I mention his taped ribs? No? Well, there you go.
Duck, right, right, right, chop, chop, Ten Punch Count Along, but "ten" is
a skull munch, there's the tenth punch. Whip into the opposite corner, big
back body drop, clothesline, clothesline. Stevie Ray: "What did he mean by
'this is Devon?' I heard him say that, what'd he mean by that, Tony?" "I
guess he's using his given name - his first name, yes, Devon." "How do you
know that?" "I *don't* know that - maybe Devon is an imaginary friend of
his, I don't know, I'm only assuming." Tenay quickly drops the knowledge
that yes, these guys are really Devon and Troy. Choke on the top rope -
referee "Blind" Mark Johnson breaks it up. Crowbar yanks back on the top
rope and Franchise falls backwards. To the rear chinlock we go! Crowbar
raking the eyes. Crotching him on the top rope. Dropkick sends him
to the outside. Crowbar sells his ribs for a while, then baseball slide
dropkicks through the ropes to the outside. Has Franchise gotten a move in
yet? No? Mmm. Crowbar on the apron - big plancha! Crowbar grabs his
broken ribs and cries out. Crowbar with a kick. Into the barricade.
They're at the commentary table - head to the table. Blatant choke.
"Tony, can you get a towel and wipe that up, please?" Crowbar sets up the
STEEL steps. Right, right, shoulder to the barricade, skull munch,
headbutt, whip into the steps - but Franchise stops short, turns around,
and meets a charging Crowbar by dumping him ribs first onto the steps.
Hey, three and a half minutes of nonstop offense for Crowbar - stopped by
the dreaded whip reversal. I think we can ALL learn something here.
Franchise drops his ribs on the barricade. Stomp, stomp, stomp, ribs every
time. Into the apron. Right, right, Stevie Ray reminds us that Torrie is
a "squakk." Crowbar rolled back in - Franchise on the top rope -
clothesline. Into the ropes, abdominal stretch. Franchise grabs the top
rope and Johnson actually SEES it, but doesn't tell him to break the
hold...just let go of the rope. Crowd actually working out a "Crowbar"
chant...Crowbar fighting it...hiplock takeover! Into the ropes, Crowbar
ducks a clothesline, ducks a back elbow, right, right, right, into the
ropes, back elbow, removing his belt and wrapping his fist - loaded right!
CHOKE with the belt! Johnson finally notices an illegal object and demands
that Crowbar toss it, so he does. Northern Lights suplex...gets 2. Arm
wringer, got him on his back - Spicolli Driver! 1, 2, NO! Into the ropes,
reversed, Crowbar ducks the clothesline, knee to the lower back, setting
him up for a reverse DDT - 1, 2, Torrie in to break it up! She claws him
in the eyes for good measure. Crowbar grabs her and shoves her down by the
hair - then turns around to eat the Franchiser. Well, there you go. 1, 2,
3. (Boeing
7:07) DAFFNEY
UNGER is out with a kick for Torrie
- scoop...and a slam! Whip into the barricade...is reversed. Oh, may.
Torrie with a kick, hairpull takeover, rolled into the ring. Stevie Ray:
"Lookit this yak fight!" OZZIE
is out, but seems content to simply watch
from the floor. Daffney crotches Torrie on the second rope. Down they go
again - now Franchise is over to break it up - now Ozzie comes in to save
his woman - whoops, Franchise is wiping the floor with him. Now,
MADUSA is
out - well, why the hell NOT. Jumping back kick in the gut for Wilson -
Franchise catches a kick, then catches an enzuigiri with his head. They
play Madusa's music as Franchise and Torrie are run out of the
ring....leaving us all to collectively scratch our heads (or our balls,
depending)

Meanwhile, Goldberg is WALKING! He's actually *found* Bret's door!
Needless to say, he runs through four of the security guys before the other
two beg off and let him pass. He goes in...to find an empty dressing room.
Looks like he'll have to keep looking...what's the hallmark of a WCW show?
One guy...looking for another guy...FOR TWO HOURS.

Close captioning where available on Thunder sponsored by Meineke discount
muffler shops!

BRET CLARKE is
out to probably make fun of the fact that Goldberg's still
looking for him out in the back while he's out here talking to us...and the
iWatch logo. Schiavone actually works in a "why Bret why" into his
commentary - yeesh. Stevie Ray: "I just wanna know why would he come out
with a 1969 Atlanta Falcons jersey on." Tenay loses cred with me by
actually coming out and id'ing the Stampeders jersey. Hey, Tenay, you
don't have to know EVERYTHING. "Just try and give me a teeny bit of
respect - okay? That's all I ask. What the hell happened to wrestling?
Hey, Mike Awesome, you're work ha- you're worth half as much as you were
fifteen minutes ago. You know, I've been waiting a long time to come out
here and say a few things, so I'm gonna get a lot of things off my chest,
and I know who's got the stroke around here, it's Vince Russo. Yeah, well
say whatever you want, but I know and you know the truth, that standing
right here before you is the greatest professional wrestling in the history
of the world of wrestling...and ever since I came to the WCW, from the very
very first second that I got here, I got screwed over and screwed over and
screwed over... (Stevie Ray: "He shoulda knew that before he came!") The
best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be - go ahead,
look at me! I've beaten every single wrestler in the WWF from the
Undertaker to Austin to the Rock to Shawn Michaels to Vince McMahon...I
came to the WCW and I beat every single wrestler here from Sting to good
ol' Bill Goldberg. And the only person that ever gave me a chance was
Vince Russo - from the day he got here I started gettin' title matches, I
started gettin' what I deserved...I want you to play that footage! Play
the footage of Bill Goldberg. THIS is Bill Goldberg - the mother of all
potatoes, right here? See that there? That cost me millions of dollars of
a supposed guaranteed contract...so Bill Goldberg, I hope you're proud o'
yourself, 'cause I'm dealing with all sorts of complications now. I got
10% permanent disability or injury in my brain - possibly for the rest of
my life. Oh, I couldn't buy that ranch that I wanted to. (Some
name from the "legal department" whose name got muted) waitin' in Atlanta
to put a slug in the back of my head, and everything I ever said about
bein' a circus animal is true! Bill Goldberg, you talk about bein' some
kinda activist for cruelty to animals, but the fact is you were beyond
cruel to me, you tried to end my career, and you tried to end my life, and
nobody did (a God) damn thing about it!" Here comes COLD BEER. "Oh, I
guess he's come to finish the job - wanna finish the job, Bill? Go ahead,
finish the job! Why don't you get a steel chair or something else? Why
don't you get a baseball bat? Why don't you bust me over the head again?
Why don't you do that other 90% that you didn't do already?" "Let me set
the record straight, Bret." "Set the record straight, Bill." "Right
now...that 90% of that brain of yours that's workin', I bet you're
wonderin' why I'm not the real Goldberg and separate your head from your
body in front of all these people, huh? Bet you're wonderin' that, hey
Bret. Well lemme tell you why. Lemme tell you why I gotta restrain
myself. Well the fact is, Bret, every time I step into this damn ring, and
every time when I play professional football, when I put that helmet on, I
was prepared to go to war. I was prepared to fight to the death - to do my
job - I was prepared to hold my head up high every time I walked in and out
of this ring, but ever since that night, Bret, I can honestly tell you, and
I can tell these people, I do have some remorse. I do feel for you, Bret.
Sometimes, I even wish that it was me. That that happened to." "Wish that
it was you? Wish that it was you?! I wake up every day and I wish it was
you, too. Ya know why? I didn't even get a phone call! I didn't even get
any care - you didn't care about me - all you cared about was about
yourself! All you cared about was whether your toys are on the shelf -
whether your T-shirts were on the market out there - whether everyone's
wearing Goldberg shirts - there's a Goldberg stuffed thing right there!
All you care about is yourself! There's no toys of me, there's no T-shirts
of me, there's nothing for me! You ended the greatest - history - wrestler
- in the career - everything - you ended it, because you felt like endin'
it." "No, I ended it, Bret, because I came out and I did my damn job. But
still - still - every night, I wonder, and I wonder...if that woulda
happened to me, where I'd be today. Now, the truth is Bret, when I was
growing up, and I was watching professional wrestling, there were a couple
people I looked up to...and I'm here to tell you that you were one of 'em.
You WERE one of 'em. But not anymore, Bret. I've heard your whining, I've
heard the crap on the TV shows, I've heard the shoot interview, and I've
head about e-damn-nough. So lemme tell you one thing...naw, you ain't
worth it. Get outta here before I do something that I'm gonna regret
again." Goldberg leaves the ring. "Yeah, you go ahead, kid - go back to
the dressing room, you know why? 'Cause you never had it in the first
place, and you never will." Goldberg steps back through the ropes. Hey,
"Madden Fears Hyatte" sign in the crowd! Too bad the man doesn't WATCH
this show, eh? "Don't you even think about touchin' me, ya big cheap
(bastard) - you touch me - you lay one finger on me, I'll sue you for
everything you've got." "Sue this!" But before Goldberg can follow up on
the choke, WHITE
THUNDER is out (with headdress) with a pipe to the
back.
Hart continues. "See this here? This is a stupid idiot. Do him in,
Scotty! This guy's so stupid, he fell right into the trap - and he's gonna
fall into every trap, 'cause he's dealing with a different kind of Hitman!
Scotty, make him pay!" Steiner Recliner. Come on, Bill, show us how much
you care! Show us how much you care, Bill! Come on, Bill! Come on,
Billy! Come on, Billy!" Goldberg is out. Steiner kicks away some refs
who are trying to get in the ring. "Goldberg! At Fall Brawl, I'm gonna
finish your ass! All you white tra--" oops, just faded out.

The 1-800-CAL-LATT Road Report reminds you that Nitro is in Charlotte this
Monday!

Advance Auto Parts presents "This Week in WCW Motorsports!" Blaise
Alexander drove the WCW 81 car with a Vampiro paint job (emphasis on "job")
in the Food City 250. Go figure - they crashed and didn't finish. Next
week, they'll try at Richmond with a Jeff Jarrett hood. Sheesh, do they
draw these names out of a hat or what? ("They use a dartboard." Huh?
"They throw darts to decide." Ohhhh....thanks.)

At Fall Brawl, this graphic says, Goldberg will take on Scott Steiner!

WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE: RAYMOND STEREO &
DE JOOS (with Konnan, Tygryss &
Disco) v. HARRYS BROTHYRZ - For the LAST time,
HERE is how you tell the
Harris twins apart: Ron is the GOOD-LOOKING one. Disco and Konnan take
headsets and let's face it, if I had to choose between transcribing Bret
and Goldberg and giving you play-by-play of this match, I think I made the
right choice by waiting until NOW to lay out. Q: What's the sound
of five men constantly stepping on each other's lines? Broncobuster by
Tygress on Heavy D, Mysterio in from behind for the double
"facefulo'stuff." Juvi wants to make it a triple, but Don gets his boot up
to counter it. Big Ron tosses Guerrera, tries to clothesline Mysterio, but
he ducks it so Ron's on the outside. And now KRONYKK are out with a
baseball bat. Disco meets them on the aisle - and quickly goes down. Ron
dumps Mysterio wheelbarrow style on the safety rail. Kronic over with a
shot for Ron - Ron AND Rey are both dumped in the ring, Rey landing on top.
Referee "Blind" Billy Silverman decides he's done talking to Don on the
outside and comes back in to count a fall. (6:03)

After that match, Booker T. met his family and friends backstage...and cut
this promo: "You know something...Big Nash, you see all these people right
here? These are MY people! They're here for me and me only! So let me
tell you something, at Fall Brawl - sick, bruised, tired, torn, ragged and
worn, it don't make no difference - your ass belongs to me. And
furthermore, when it's all over with, when it's all said and done, I got
one thing to say to you. Don't hate the playa [crowd: "Hate the game!"]
Can u dig it?"

Booker T. vs. Kevin Nash - World Heavyweight Title Match - Fall Brawl

No holds barred, NEXT! Sting is WALKING!

Hey, how's about one more WCW Thunder Tailgate Party ad-in-disguise?
Thanks, Yamaha! Notice how they airbrush out the title around Big Vito's
waist in that one shot? Make you wonder why they DIDN'T try to airbrush
Buff Bagwell...

Here's a Special Video Look at the long, storied history between Sting and
Vampiro...and the iWatch logo

NO HOLDS BARRED: THE JOBBIN' JUGGALO
(with Insane Clown Posse) v. (THIS IS)
STING - Let me get this straight. Monday, Sting
tore through Vampiro AND
Muta in 1:11
and you expect me to care about Sting taking on JUST Vampiro
now? *Especially* considering that Tenay and Ray lay out, leaving Tony to
call the match with the Insane Clown Posse? Although this match *is*
JCW-sanctioned, we are told, this is not a JCW heavyweight title bout -
this is because deep down, they KNOW Vampiro's gonna job to him. The
clowns *also* say that no matter what the outcome of the match is, Sting
shall be declared the loser. Well, give 'em credit - they found a way for
Vampiro to win. What's more embarrassing - giving commentary time to the
Insane Clown Posse - or giving commentary time to WCW Live hosts? Tossup.
Why, SURE, the clowns interfere freely when the action gets near the
commentary table. Q: What's a juggalo? A: The only type of fan that'll
actually *pay* to attend a Thunder taping, judging from the signage at
ringside. No WONDER they give the ICP anything they want - they're the
only people drawing money in WCW! Finish sees Shaggy 2 Dope throw the JCW
title belt at Sting's knee while he tries his second Stinger splash. Poor
Sting has to try to believably sell this. Vampiro in for the Nail in the
Coffin - but Sting turns the attempt into a Scorpion Death Drop for the
pin. Vampiro jobs! Vampiro jobs! Vampiro
jobs! (6:41) Violent J quickly
announces Vampiro as the winner of the JCW-sanctioned match as Dope and
Vampiro doubleteam Sting. Here comes GREAT MUTA...to rescue
Sting? Well,
after he pulls Sting out of the ring, J asks him to prove himself - is he
Dark Carnival or not? Sting ducks the green mist - early. Agonizing
seconds go by - then Muta mists Violent J when he finally comes over.
Sting goes ahead and beats up Muta anyway as if he wasn't sure Muta was
aiming for him or not. And now COLD BEER is out? What - Madusa
wasn't available? He lets Sting and Muta pass, then gets in the
ring. Spinning heel kick
from Vampiro is ducked. ICP double clothesline doesn't budge him. Elbow
for J, right for Dope. They're both down. Goldberg catches ANOTHER kick,
then slams Vampiro. HE'S out cold. Vampiro jobs again! Vampiro jobs
again! Vampiro jobs again! Goldberg has THE STICK: "STEINER! I ain't
worried about you, 'cause I got your ass at the end of the month. But Bret
Hart...get your ass out here!" Hart fails to show up. "I'm waitin' Bret!"
On the Thundertron, Team Canada appears. Storm: "Goldberg - in case you
forgot - you ended Bret Hart's career. But there's still a couple
Canadians left. I'll be more than happy to come down there and kick your
ass. You let me finish taping up - we'll be right there." Skipper
expresses surprise while Gunns supresses a laugh.

COLD BEER (already in the
ring) v. LANCE STORM & ELIX SKIPPER -
"Before we come down and kick your ass, Bill - everybody rise for the
playing of the Canadian national anthem!" Goldberg visibly yawns as the
first man to talk over the anthem is Stevie Ray - SHAME! "Tony! Sit down!
For once!" Goldberg lets it go (:18) before saying "Cut that
crap! Cut
it! You guys wanna step up to the plate...be my guest." Where's Gunns?
What the heck am I supposed to watch now? The wrestling? Hoo hoo hoo ha
ha ha... Storm and Skipper have a brief discussion about who will enter
first. Then they BOTH enter. Storm shoves Skipper towards Goldberg...and
he leaves the ring. Now Storm is out as well. The debate...continues.
"USA!" Storm shoves Skipper INTO Goldberg. He tries a right. Skipper
ducks a clothesline and runs to the corner - leaping up to the top rope,
backflip, landing on his feet - and speared. He points to Storm...who
walks away. But GENERAL
RECTION is waiting a the top of the ramp - yes,
friends, *General Rection* is in the overrun. Pound, pound, Storm thrown
in - Goldberg with a pumphandle overhead toss and release. Here's a spear
for you. Remember when Storm had three titles? That's the guy getting
jackhammered there. 1, 2, 3. (1:36)
